The festive period is an incredible occasion, which brings people together to celebrate friendships, the love of the company of others and to show how much you appreciate their friendship. What better way to celebrate then over a bottle of your favourite wine.
People all over the world will be organising get togethers, aperitifs, drinks, dinners or just a get together to see their dearest before Christmas. A Bottle of bubbles is always a great way to get the celebrations underway weather it’s a prosecco or a bottle of champagne it is always appreciated and makes for a relaxing and warm start to the evening. If you have organised some hors d’oeuvres, your bubbles could be followed by a lovely Ribolla Gialla, or something with a little more structure like a Petits Chablis. And to finish off the evening in front of a fire roasting horse chestnuts maybe a nice Amarone.
What about Christmas eve, Fish, white meats, pasta, maybe a lovely bottle of champagne a Blanc de Blanc, something that will compliment the delicate dishes that you have prepared. Or for those of you who would like some white wine maybe a cheeky Petite Arvinne from Valle D’Aosta or a Pinot Bianco from Trentino Alto Adige or a Vermentino from Sardegna. For the red Lovers we’d probably suggest a delicious Barbaresco from Piemonte o or Pinot Nero from Trentino or even a Cesanaese from Lazio.
The 25th is usually when you throw down your glove and take out the big Reds for one of the most important lunches of the year, where there could be suckling pig, roast duck, roast turkey, boiled ham, roast potatoes, puddings and the list goes on. So what will you be serving? Some Barolo you have been keeping for a special occasion, that Brunello di Montalcino Reserve that’s been taunting you for years, Those Amarone that have to be opened a few hours before hands. It doesn’t really matter once you are at home with the people you love. For everything you can rely on us here at Johnny’s Off license to have the best wines for all your culinary needs.
